Comments. Evoplosoma has been observed from submersibles as a predator of deep-sea gorgonians and occurs widely throughout the world, primarily in the Atlantic and the Pacific (Mah et al. 2010, Mah 2015a). Two species have been described from hard substrates at bathyal-abyssal depths off the Pacific coast of North America (Mah et al., 2010). A key to Evoplosoma was presented by Mah (2015).
